1971 Map of Philip Smith Mountains C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Ribdon River dominates the northern reaches of this Arctic landscape, carving a wide braided path through the peaks of the northern Brooks Range. This 1970s survey captures a wilderness largely untouched by infrastructure, where the Bureau of Land Management had established predetermined but unsurveyed land lines. Centered on the map is Elusive Lake, a significant water body situated at the foot of several high ridges. The drainages of Accomplishment Creek and Section Creek illustrate a complex hydraulic network feeding into the larger river system. A solitary Cabin located north of the lake provides the only evidence of a human outpost in this expansive territory, likely serving as a shelter for early geological field parties or seasonal surveys in the Philip Smith Mountains.
